They don't have a lot of extra resources to do fun projects like this. As mentioned in the SaabUSA CEO chat the other evening, Saab will most likely leverage whatever technology GM invests in for its platforms. But you're right in one aspect - the Saab audience is probably one that is in-line with this type of technology from a buyer point of view... Just look at these Saabers covering their houses with solar panels as an example (link below) and I've certainly seen an electric Sonett and model 96.
Saab would need to begin to consistently show profits to embark on this kind of project and even still, I'd place my bet on management consolidating efforts in this area within one workgroup which kind of makes sense.

p.s. The link is to one Saaber who has way more panels than I have. My set up is shown in the image in this message.
